    Is this a ban because of vote abuse? when I started a couple weeks ago I found the way to vote on multiple accounts on different IP's. I thought it would help MapleRoyals on the ranking of GTOP100, but didn't see the problem of getting more NX.
    When I heard this was Illegal and I could get banned for it, I stopped directly and started voting once a day. I hoped that I wouldn't get in trouble for it, since I just like to play the game and want to progress a.s.a.p.
    Sorry for not knowing the rules and I hope you will activate my account again since I didn't made a huge profit from it and I stopped abusing already.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Hi there.

    You are correct, you have been permanently banned for major vote abuse.

    That's a pretty harsh punishment for someone who didn't pay enough attention to the rules. As I honestly admitted, I abused it for a short time, but that only gave me a few days' advantage in the voting, a kind of false start. When someone told me that it was against the rules, you can see that I stopped abusing it.

    8 years ago i started these characters. now 2/3 weeks ago I found the account names back and really enjoyed the game again. Why would I risk myself getting banned on the age of 29. I am putting all my spare time in the game and you simply cut me off.

    It's good that you're keeping a close eye on things and dealing with people who abuse the system, but at least give them a warning first. Otherwise, you might as well kick everyone off who made small mistakes.

    Please reconsider my request to unban me, I was working so hard to progress my characters and meet new friends on the server..
    Since I already stopped abusing, you can trust me not to do it again...

    Thanks in advance for looking into in again.

    Hello,

    We understand that players may occasionally overlook the Terms & Conditions.
    However, please note that we have implemented multiple reminders regarding the voting rules:
    • The display of the Terms & Conditions upon first login
    • The inclusion of Vote Abuse in Shanks’ Quiz
    • Clear reminders on the voting page - "You may only vote once per day"
    These measures are in place specifically to ensure players are aware that vote abuse is bannable.
    While we understand your explanation, ignoring the reminders and voting for multiple accounts constitutes major vote abuse.

    As such, we are unable to provide further assistance with this appeal.

    We hope this clarifies our position.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for the detailed response on my ticket.
    I understand you have to take a hard line. If you don't, more people might abuse it.
    But I still hope you can make an exception for me, I know it is annoying for you that people keep asking but I really enjoyed the time on the server and I know you can imagine my spot right now.
    I didn't abuse it for long or made a huge profit. I did not hack the system or something, So why isn't this punishment enough, that I've been feeling awful for a day now?

    Please can you give me a second chance?..

    We don’t punish too hard. We expect our players to have a basic level of reading comprehension and the ability to follow rules. Just like in real life if you break the rules there are consequences. We don’t make exceptions unless we made a mistake (we didn’t) as that would be unfair to others. You will need to find another server to play on. Locking the thread as our decision is final.
